Justin Bieber gets Class A ham radio license

The Neue Westfälische reports 13-year-old *Justin Bieber DJ5KM* is one of
Germany's youngest radio amateurs

Justin, no connection with a singer of the same name, lives in Bielefeld
350 km west of Berlin. He celebrated his 13th birthday on June 20.
Just five days earlier while aged 12, he passed the exam for the Federal
Network Agency Class A license. His previous Class E callsign was DO2JUS
which permitted 10 watts on 144/430 MHz.

During his interview with the news reporter Justin worked GB2IWM the
Duxford Radio Society station at the Imperial War Museum and G1TDN in
Kingston Upon Hull but unfortnately the published callsigns were mangled.

Justin also worked Walter Randolph G0KCC who gave his location as "near
Southampton" (Poole). When Justin told him his age and said that he had
just passed his Class A exam Walter said *"Congratulations, we need more
young people to join us."* Walter is 78 years old.

Justin pointed out to the reporter that amateur radio can save lives after
a disaster were the existing infrastructure has failed. It can also provide
an important means of communication in areas like the South Pole. The
German Antarctic research station Neumayer III has an amateur radio station
and Justin intends to talk to a radio amateur he knows there*Marcus Heger
DL1MH*.
